ECG has been working with Georgia Southern to produce a series of :30 spots that will air nationally over the next year.

Two of the spots will be shot with our XL-H1 using a mini35 Image converter, and a set of prime lenses.  However, the third spot will be assembled using hundreds of high-quality images provided to us by the university.  The concept for the graphical advertisement is simple, but the execution will be tricky.  I’m going to be using empty shots of the campus, and placing students into the pictures.  Not only that I will be using a faux-3D style to give it a more dynamic look.

The best way to show what the final spot will look like is to link to some samples of what our client likes.

Also:

As you can see, the client has requested something very cool and visually stunning that uses still images, but makes them more dynamic than just fading them or panning across them.

My plan is to use Vanishing Point in photoshop to create my faux-3d scenes and then populating those scenes with students extracted from other images.  I’ve been running tests on this for the past 2 weeks and have finally established how my workflow for the project will work.  I’ll keep you posted on my progress over the next few weeks.

I’ll be shooting in Statesboro for the next so no more updates till September.  See you then.
